Spring in Rhode Island means longer days, warmer breezes, and the perfect excuse to sip cocktails with a view. Just in time for rooftop season, Blu Violet Rooftop Bar is rolling out a dramatic transformation that promises an even more dazzling experience. Perched atop the Aloft Providence Downtown Hotel, this skyline hotspot is owning the rooftop weekend lunch scene with elevated dining, chic lounge seating, glowing firepit towers, and a cocktail menu designed to turn heads (and taste buds).
Executive Chef Cara Mourning leads the culinary refresh, bringing 24 years of experience and a passion for bold, from-scratch flavors. Recognized for her appearances on Food Network’s Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay, and Beachside Brawl, she has earned national acclaim for her innovative “Food for All” concept, which specializes in accommodating diverse dietary needs, including allergies and vegan cuisine.
Her fresh approach to modern dining is already making waves. The updated menu celebrates global flavors, seamlessly blending Mexican, Korean, and Southern influences while staying true to Blu Violet’s signature style. One standout dish generating buzz is Girl Dinner, a family-style spread featuring a crisp Caesar salad, indulgent truffle fries, and a towering display of Dirty Martinis.
Set to reopen on May 1, Blu Violet is unveiling not just a new menu but a full-scale refresh. The sleek redesign merges urban elegance with comfort, inviting guests to unwind in plush lounge seating while basking in the warmth of firepit towers. Whether sipping cocktails at sunset or gathering late into the night, visitors can expect an ambiance that redefines the rooftop experience.
Beyond aesthetics and cuisine, Blu Violet is introducing a dynamic entertainment lineup that will bring energy and excitement throughout the season with live music, themed nights, and surprise pop-ups. This transformation is just the beginning, with a more extensive remodel planned later this year. For hours and additional details, visit BluVioletRooftopBar.com.
